Cooking liver pâté in the air fryer is an excellent choice because it cooks the pâté quickly while maintaining its rich flavor. The air fryer evenly distributes heat, creating a perfect consistency and texture. With less oil needed and no stove-top frying required, this method is much cleaner and faster. Plus, it results in a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth pâté with a crispy outer layer.
Prepare the liver mixture
In a food processor, combine the liver (chicken, beef, or pork), onions, garlic, butter, herbs, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If desired, add a splash of brandy or cognac for extra flavor.
Preheat the air fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Cook the liver pâté
Transfer the liver mixture into a heatproof dish or ramekin that fits in your air fryer basket. Smooth the top and place it in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure it’s cooking evenly. The pâté should be firm and slightly golden on top.
Rest and serve
Allow the liver pâté to cool for a few minutes before serving. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for the best texture and flavor. Serve with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
